Our goal is to send you home with several sightings and photos to remind you of your vacation for years to come. We spend 3-3,5 hours on the water, searching for and marvelling over the marine life. Our experienced guides can answer any questions you may have and will tell you about each whale as you see it.

Watch for Minke whales, Dolphins and Humpbacks on a Whale Watching cruise from Reykjavik and take in views of the coast from an open viewing platform or an enclosed cabin.
